A study commissioned in Karnataka by the Commissioner for Labour, Government of Karnataka and UNICEF, Hyderabad, on child labour in the sectors of agriculture, domestic work, sericulture and hotels attempts to reconcile the diverse views on child labour and has indicated a minimum non-negotiable agenda for action, which is imperative from a human rights and child rights perspective.22 Some of the non-negotiable principles put forward by the study are: Child labour is a violation of human rights—political, civil, economic, social and cultural—and should be treated as such; Exploitation of poverty rather than poverty per se is the prime reason for child labour but one need not wait for poverty to be eradicated to end exploitation.
